Create a dat with read permissions for certain contacts #17

the createDat function could take an option for who you want to share it with, which could be an array of user ids. That dat address should be placed in a dats.json file inside each push-relationship dat for each contact.

I'm ok with adding readable users using a separate function only instead of in the createDat one. The less each function does the easier it is to test and maintain.

sure, there can be a separate function for posting a public dat vs selecting specific contacts. Once groups are implemented, I think that logic will be the same as posting for a 1:1, so that might be the same function

I thought it might be simplest to have three functions for createDat, makeDatPublic, and shareDat, so I went that route in the latest update.

@karissa I updated the Readme to make it better reflect what I'm currently thinking for the API. I was also thinking of taking out any kind of user-naming (ie, right now the user can have a name, can name their dats, and can name their groups, etc). Instead, we can only use IDs and hashes for everything. A higher-level library could handle stuff like naming, messaging, etc, which might depend on the use-case
